Christmas Festival and Events in Florida

When people think of Florida, a few things come to mind: Disney, Spring Break and alligators. Christmas is rarely one of the top things that come to mind, maybe because the weather is so hot, it doesn’t inspired dreams of a white Christmas. Well, unless you are thinking about white beaches.

But Florida has some great festival and events to help get in the Christmas mood. Beck Chrysler Dodge Jeep thinks you should know what they are.
